‘Bird sighting in Idaho
B447482A-442E-486F-B443-CA74B3918A78.jpeg

Looking forward to getting back home so I can ride the bike and stay on a strict keto diet. I’m putting on weight like I’m trying to win a contest at it or something :)

I'm on a similar diet, I think you want to take that tip bucket away they you won't be able to afford all those pies :)

Very cool picture, Photoshop?
 
The Air Force can be picky like that. Vandenberg boy here....

If you tell the army to secure a building, they will surround it with barbed wire, establish access points with armed guards and will institute a system of passwords for access.
If you tell the navy to secure a building, they will go through, make sure no one is in the building, turn off all the lights, and make sure that the coffee maker is ready to go in the morning.
If you tell the air force to secure a building, they will sign a lease with an option to buy.

Not sure! Our tour manager sent it to me :)
 
I believe they do, and a $1 an hour for every hour fighting an active burn.
And risking their lives for like two bucks an hour. They really should be commended for their efforts.

Profit like that? Man, I am jealous.

Occasionally I can't make up my mind so I got a Vintage Pro and a Pro. Can I get a number?

Soon (TM).Also, nice 'Birds!


Set for stun?
 
I've never seen a solid body guitar that thick. The guitarist told me it weighs 11 pounds. Good thing they chambered it:smug:

In what caliber, though? I'm curious...

Flat, round and spins. It is a wonder we haven't all gone flying off the edge of the world.

Nah, the world can't be flat- if it was, cats would have knocked everything off the edge already.

It's like Gibson/Epiphone wants me to burn my Thunderbirds...
Their website is useless.
The Pro V came today. It's pretty much in the shape advertised, but...
  • Hum/hiss unless I touch the 1/4" plug shield.
  • One of the controls doesn't do anything. I suspect it's the bass control.
  • Other than the volume, I can't tell what's what./ Of the two other controls that work, I have a guess as to which is the blend and which is treble, but it's just a guess.
  • As is, this would be OK for funk. Lots of high end. Definitely lacking in low end.
  • The only place I found anything that *might* show the control layout was a Gibson Forum comment with a link to the schematic. Gibson wouldn't let me see it unless I registered. I registered and logged in./. Gibson *still* says I can't see it until I registered. Plus they are clearly using either 1960s COBOL technology or any MS technology ever, because my display name (not the username, I knew better) cannot have an apostrophe in it.
I'll get it sorted, if only by taking things passive, but good grief.

I have it on good authority that the supercomputer from "Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" works at Gibson now. Just don't fold, spindle or mutilate your punch cards. You'll be fine.
